Making predictive modelling ART: accurate, reliable, and transparent

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Models are increasingly being used for prediction in ecological research. The ability to generate accurate and robust predictions is necessary to help respond to ecosystem change and to further scientific research.

Model Fit and Model Selection [PDF]

open access: yesReview, 2007
This paper uses an example to show that a model that fits the available data perfectly may pro vide worse answers to policy questions than an alternative, imperfectly fitting model. The author argues that, in the context of Bayesian estimation, this result can be interpreted as being due to the use of an inappropriate prior over the parameters of shock

Information criteria for astrophysical model selection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Model selection is the problem of distinguishing competing models, perhaps featuring different numbers of parameters. The statistics literature contains two distinct sets of tools, those based on information theory such as the Akaike Information ...

Should Selection of the Optimum Stochastic Mortality Model Be Based on the Original or the Logarithmic Scale of the Mortality Rate?

open access: yesRisks, 2023
Stochastic mortality models seek to forecast future mortality rates; thus, it is apparent that the objective variable should be the mortality rate expressed in the original scale. However, the performance of stochastic mortality models—in terms, that is,

Computational Nosology and Precision Psychiatry [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Psychiatry, 2017
This article provides an illustrative treatment of psychiatric morbidity that offers an alternative to the standard nosological model in psychiatry. It considers what would happen if we treated diagnostic categories not as causes of signs and symptoms ...

Antibiotic Resistances in Livestock: A Comparative Approach to Identify an Appropriate Regression Model for Count Data

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017
Antimicrobial resistance in livestock is a matter of general concern. To develop hygiene measures and methods for resistance prevention and control, epidemiological studies on a population level are needed to detect factors associated with antimicrobial ...

Optimal predictive model selection

open access: yes, 2004
Often the goal of model selection is to choose a model for future prediction, and it is natural to measure the accuracy of a future prediction by squared error loss.

Machine Learning Automatic Model Selection Algorithm for Oceanic Chlorophyll-a Content Retrieval

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Ocean Color remote sensing has a great importance in monitoring of aquatic environments. The number of optical imaging sensors onboard satellites has been increasing in the past decades, allowing to retrieve information about various water quality ...

Source Model Selection for Deep Learning in the Time Series Domain

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Transfer Learning aims to transfer knowledge from a source task to a target task. We focus on a situation when there is a large number of available source models, and we are interested in choosing a single source model that can maximize the predictive ...

Assessing the Validity of k-Fold Cross-Validation for Model Selection: Evidence from Bankruptcy Prediction Using Random Forest and XGBoost

open access: yesComputation
Predicting corporate bankruptcy is a key task in financial risk management, and selecting a machine learning model with superior generalization performance is crucial for prediction accuracy.
